This teapot is from the 1960s and is in excellent condition. This description is from the manufacturer: A stunning masterpiece of handmade details, the Blue Fluted Full Lace Teapot impresses on any table with an intricate pattern of lace, floral elements and fish scale decorations. The laced border of the porcelain pot frames the lid in an organic style complimenting the edged body of the teapot. The handle and spout are supported by face-shaped decorations - so called grotesques - and the top of the lid is adorned with a snail shell. The epitome of porcelain craftsmanship, Blue Fluted Full Lace presents hand painted beauty at its absolute finest. The iconic, open-work lace border of the collection is carefully created, with each individual piercing in the lace delicately made by hand, and afterwards hand painted with the classic pattern of florals and fine lines. Elaborate with a passion. Blue Fluted Full Lace encapsulates the very essence of the Royal Copenhagen aesthetic and craftsmanship. With its impressive, handmade lace and exquisite hand painted details, each piece carries a touch of lavishness and old-worldly beauty.
